Everything went well. We had our own car which made it convenient to get around especially to the university. Otherwise, we thought it was quite a bit of a walk to the main part of town.

Portugal’s medieval capital, and a pioneer of fado music alongside its modern counterpart Lisbon, Coimbra is a vibrant university city with a good helping of historic sights.
The university is the country’s oldest and its attractive buildings cover a small hill overlooking the Mondego River. The institution has an excellent science museum, the ornate Joanina Library, and one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens which contributes to the lush landscape.
The midweek nightlife in the city’s bars and restaurants is popular with students, while shopping options range from the stores of the CoimbraShopping complex to smaller boutiques on cobbled streets in the historic Baixa district.
The medieval centre houses the museum of Coimbran sculptor Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral, begun under the reign of the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques. He is buried in Santa Cruz Monastery, while the tomb of a later queen – Elizabeth of Aragon – is in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. She founded this hilltop convent to replace flood-prone Santa Clara-a-Velha below. Between them is Portugal dos Pequenitos where Portugal’s main monuments are reproduced in miniature.
Nearby is Quinta das Lágrimas, a 19th-century mansion that is now a luxury hotel on Booking.com. Also available are cheap hostels and guest houses near the 2 main train stations.

We were lucky enough to arrive during the last week of term for the university students, which made the town lively and interesting. The tour of the university , particularly the library, was fascinating. It was also lovely to walk through the old town, eat pastries, listen to music and absorb the atmosphere. Sitting in the Botanic gardens with a book in the afternoon sunshine was an opportunity to relax in otherwise busy days.

Coimbra is a delightful town to visit.
Coimbra is a delightful town to visit. The town is architecturally pleasing, with clean, safe, streets, and a refreshing lack of graffiti.
There is a good choice of hotels and restaurants, and those that we patronized were of good quality, with helpful staff, all of whom, in our experience spoke good English. Recommended

Our accommodation had the perfect location; we walked everywhere. The nearby restaurants were serving great food. Our street had 2 nice restaurants that were frequented by locals, and the prices were very reasonable compared to the more touristy places.

Coimbra is a great city to visit and use as base to explore other locations in central Portugal. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, the cobbles streets and walking is often up steep hills. The library is worth viewing at the university, but make sure you book in advance or get there early, as they have limited tickets and time slots. The parks are beautiful along the river and worth taking the time to visit. If adventuring out, highly recommend Obidos and the Buddha Eden garden, as well as Aveiro and Costa Nova.

Coimbra has a lot to offer travelers.
Coimbra has a lot to offer travelers. Centro (old part of town) is very lovely and has a lot to see. Many small interesting roads and pathways to walk around and see beautiful buildings, historical churchs, shops, cafes...Restaurants are reasonably priced and there is a variety of different cuisines to accommodate everyone. We stayed one night, but could have easily stayed another night.

Coimbra is a great city with very interesting historical sites and churches. Interesting shops and restaurants.
the Igreja santo Christo is especially good to visit situated in a lovely square. The adjoining old cafe has a wonderful atmosphere with a performance of FADO (traditional Portuguese music ) every weekday from 6pm
Lovely BnB located really close to the old university in the center of Coimbra.
Ideal location to easily reach by foot all the most famous tourist attractions of the city.
At the check-in, the owner was very kind and helpful, recommending us places to visit and restaurants for dinner.
The breakfast was excellent. A nice buffet was provided and it was possible also to ask for bacon to be cooked on the spot.
I would recommend this cozy BnB to anyone who is stopping in Coimbra while on vacation in Portugal.
beautiful rooms and friendly staff, a gorgeous outdoor space to enjoy breakfast under the trees. and an adorable hotel cat to keep us company. situated in a convenient location near the university which made it easy to explore the main sites. the rooms were comfortable and stylish. the hotel offered a wine tasting every day and an amazing roof terrace with views. one of the best hotels we stayed in Portugal. stunning boutique hotel, with friendly staff in an excellent location
The apartment in Coimbra was spacious and well-equipped, with a great balcony overlooking the city. The cathedral is not to be missed, and the university, which sits atop the city (very high), is the oldest in Portugal, one of the oldest in the world. The university library and the chapel of Sao Miguel are all well worth seeing, advise to purchase tickets (and times) before arriving. The botanical garden is a pleasant place to spend some time relaxing.
The owners and staff - Joao, Ana, Janet - were so helpful. They booked an amazing boat trip, gave us an orientation to Coimbra, and even gave us a ride when we needed it. The building is gorgeous - if a bit vertically challenging like most places in older parts of the cities of Portugal. They provided an amazing breakfast - try the pumpkin jam with the bread! - and port and drinks at night.
We stayed there for one night during our roadtrip in Portugal. We loved the design and decoration of the house and the rooms. The rooms were very well equipped and clean.
Jonas and Sonia were very helpful and responsive. The breakfast was delicious. The parking on the street in front of the house is free and we found a spot easily.
We would definitely stay at Vila Julieta again!
Everything; especially the location. Situated near the old square, we were serenaded with smooth jazz in the morning. We could reach the market, the university, cathedral, and river bridge in easy walks. The hotel staff were very kind, especially helping us with parking and our bags. The roof top terrace above the Hotel Oslo was special too. We would stay there again.
This is is one of the best place we stayed in Portugal. Host make you feel like you are an old friend. Room was big and clean, shower was clean with everything that you can need. Tasty breakfast with friendly stuff. Incredible territory with cutest goats. Parking inside, so you don’t worry about your car, but still not far away from Coimbra. We will definitely stay again!
got deluxe + balcony, very good big room if front of the local train station. close to the main streets, this boutique hotel is the best choice in this city region due to its' rooftop bar that is not to be missed - see the pictures. minipreco 50m away as water taste in all Portugal is awful.
Perfect location, cute decor and well stocked with the kitchenette and good air con. Great housekeeping that as a nice surprise washed our dishes. Nice to have access to the Hotel Oslo rooftop bar - beautiful view of Coimbra at sunset.
The staff member who checked us in took the time to show us places to visit and restaurants to eat at which helped us a lot. The hotel is in an excellent place with everything around you would need. I would highly recommend Hotel Oslo
This property was incredible, the hotel was so beautiful and the staff were all so nice and helpful!
Perfect location to explore Coimbra - if you are debating of where to stay, just choose this property won’t regret it!
